THE "SOURCES" OF DIVIDENDS.
THE SUBJECT ILLUSTRATED.

The ways OF the Virginia agent when he
comes under the influence of the Northwest.
ern Mutual Life Insurance Company, strongly
resemble those OF Providence in their in
scrutaOility. In II late issue we illustrated the
! penchant OF Il firm of Norfolk agents to in
dulge in the easy and flowing style of the
quack medicine advertisement Then they
were offering rewards tn the extent of $3.50 for
every case that IL policy in the northwestern
would not cure.
Now the SAINT firm has taken another step,
and are advertising their principal as a prof.
cient i'm one of the main features OF the taNid-
ermist's art. The newest literary production,
among other things, says:
Where the double dividends OF the North
western come from, The death loss to each
81 900 insurance was in lsSi,

To each SlyOo0ot insurance the northwestern

saved is a rather mild word to describe
the operation OF paying 500 less on each

inent companies; hut the Northwestern seem
TO like it, ana so we use il too, instead of en-
ploying the word which describes the first
process of the art OF taXidcrmy. Insurance is
an article that every man desires shall reach
his family intact, and il cannot be Il great
qualification to be told in faring type that tn,
company who solicits his patronage intends
to save S5.07 on each 81 900 of insurance that il
carries. Even the famous "double dividend"
which has already been several times "callod
in by telegraph" cannot make amends. II il
simply IA payment that in any other company
would have been made in the second year OF
membership.
But there is "another source" from which
the dividends OF the Northwestern Mutual Lite
Insurance Company are drawn, viz The for
teited, or partly forfeited reserves on lapsed
and surrendered policies. The following TIA
BILE shows the amount OF lapsed and surrend-
cred policies in six great Life Insurance com
panies and the sum per 81 900 paid by each in

Home of the Cod.

The reason that Goldfish are found in

food of the cod.-Boston Transcript.
